Hello everybody, just thought I would drop a line to let people know that I have not fallen off the map or given up on this board or any other thoughts that may have crossed your mind. I can understand why one may think that, having gone from sole moderator and one of the most frequent posters to zilch. Truth be told, my time has been consumed by some personal and ongoing issues which all seemed to peak at the same time, the beginning of Dec. I really have not had the time or inclination to follow the markets, the economy or the media in general .. I have higher priorities to address.
But never fear, I do still lurk from time to time and eventually (not exactly sure when) I will be back up and running. al44 deserves major kudos and everyones respect for keeping the neighborhood clean. If you ever have something on your mind feel free to PM either al44 or myself.
So until we meet again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
PS- Behave yourselves, Santa's watching 8^)
